Lentils, chickpeas, and beans are an excellent source of iron, fiber, and vegetable protein. Iron is vital for transporting oxygen in the blood and preventing anemia, a common cause of fatigue in older adults.

Lunch Idea: A lentil soup with vegetables is inexpensive, nutritious, and revitalizing.

Green Vegetables: Chlorophyll and Natural Iron

Spinach, broccoli, chard, and kale are full of iron, magnesium, and folic acid. They help produce energy at the cellular level and improve the body’s oxygenation.

How to consume: Add them to green smoothies, omelets, or stir-fries.

Dark Chocolate: A Natural Stimulant

In small amounts, chocolate with more than 70% cacao can improve mood and increase energy thanks to caffeine and theobromine.

Caution: Avoid chocolates with a lot of sugar or added milk.

Plain Yogurt: Energy with Probiotics

Yogurt is a source of calcium, protein, and probiotics, which benefit digestion and increase nutrient absorption. Good digestion is key to having energy.

Healthy option: Plain yogurt with fruit and oatmeal.

After age 60, having energy depends not only on rest, but also on what you eat. A varied diet rich in nutrients, fiber, quality protein, and good hydration can help you stay active, mentally alert, and have a better quality of life. Remember to complement your diet with moderate physical activity and regular medical checkups.

Take care of your body and feel full of life every day!
